Enchanted yet horrified, humans force the magical beings Underground, to colonize the sewers and abandoned subway tunnels beneath their glittering cities.
But even magic folk cannot dwell in harmony, and soon two Worlds emerge: the Lightworld, home to faeries, dragons and dwarves; and the Darkworld, where vampires, werewolves, angels and demons lurk.
Now, in the dank and shadowy place between Lightworld and Darkworld, a transformation is about to begin...
Ayla, a half faery, half human assassin, is stalked by Malachi, a Death Angel tasked with harvesting mortal souls. They clash. Immortality evaporates, forging a bond neither may survive. And in the face of unbridled ambitions and untested loyalties, an ominous prophecy is revealed that will shake the Worlds.37987621102009Queene of Light (Lightworld/Darkworld, #1)total:83|5:18|4:21|3:27|2:14|1:3|832863823220falsefalseMon Nov 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009Mon Nov 30 02:48:35 -0800 2009Mon Nov 30 23:43:02 -0800 2009 As a rom...more...]]>

His Dark Materials Trilogy meets Artemis Fowl, #1-5 - fallen angels, kick-ass elves, ripped veils between worlds, scheming masterminds... (Well, maybe Garret isn't a mastermind, but he's definitely a schemer). Past the topsy-turvy introduction to Lightworld / Dar...more...]]>

Queene of Light was an interesting read. Regular readers of the Mira line will find the style and tone familiar.
The prose was formal, perhaps a little florid, for example, in Armintrout's continuing descriptions of voices as "rustling leaves," et cetera. At times, she borrowed...more...]]>

Queene of Light starts out quite slowly, and therefore, I wasn't entirely engaged by the story until I'd read more than half way through. My main problems stem from the lack of character backstory/development and the incomplete feeling to the plot, as a whole. It seemed to me as if Jennifer Armintro...more...]]>
